15 Unique Bacalar Airbnb Villas

There is a fantastic choice of Bacalar Airbnb villas for your trip to this beautiful part of Mexico. 

Bacalar Quintana Roo Mexico is a perfect destination for travellers looking for a slice of paradise. The town is located near the Mexico Belize border and is best known for its idyllic ‘lake of seven colours’ Lake Bacalar (also called Laguna Bacalar). 

The colourful, warm, alkaline waters of Bacalar Lagoon create a perfect blend for shallow swimming, snorkelling and gentle watersports such as stand-up paddleboarding or kayaking. Plus, you get to indulge in a wide variety of fresh seafood. Visitors can also swim in picturesque cenotes on the western shores of the lake, including Cenote Negro, Cenote Azul and the gorgeous Cenote Cocalitos. 

Visitors to Bacalar Quintana Roo can choose from a wide range of accommodation, including private villas, waterfront thatched roof bungalows or good quality Bacalar hotels. If you are wondering where to stay in Bacalar, the following sections will help you find the perfect Bacalar accommodation for your trip.

The following sections review the best Airbnb-style properties in Bacalar. The buttons link to accommodation aggregator websites such as Airbnb, Booking & Vrbo. My personal favourite is Booking because you don’t have to pay upfront and normally can cancel prior to the trip when your plans change. Booking also disallows hosts to cancel your booking, something that can be a real issue on other websites.
